The skin is the outermost protective layer of the body. When the continuity of this layer is compromised pathogens enter the body. The body's immune system tries to fight the pathogens with the help of White blood cells. These W.B.C’s go to the infected spot and collect in the damaged tissue and precipitate an inflammation. During the course of this battle between the defense mechanism of the body and the pathogens pus formation occurs. Pus is the collection of plasma, dead and living white blood cells, dead tissue and pathogens or other foreign substances. This pocket of pus is known as abscess. The pathogens could be Parasites, bacteria or viruses. The symptoms include redness, pain and heat. The treatments include incising the abscess and drainage of fluids.

After an excessive
research I learned about Wheatgrass. And it seemed to work!
She passed through chemotherapy with ease. But was it the Wheatgrass?
And if it was, how come it was so hard to find out about it?"
